• POSSIBILITIES OF USING SOLAR POWERED COOLING SYSTEMS IN AGRICULTURE

    Mechanization in agriculture & Conserving of the resources, Vol. 62 (2016), Issue 2, pg(s) 24-26

    A significant part of the electrical energy used for the heating and cooling, produced from fossil based sources. The decrease of fossil based fuels and the price rises forced people turn to other energy sources. Renewable energy sources are shown as a good alternative to fossil energy sources cause of the environmental its potential. Compared to solar energy become prominent by having easy operation and lower installation costs, as one of the alternative energy sources compared with other renewable energy. Solar energy mostly used for heat water and environment. Cause of the lower solar radiation when much-needed period of habitat heating, solar power cannot be used as efficient for heating. In the summer, while the most intense and prolonged period of solar radiation there is no need for heating, instead an arising need for space cooling. In the summer, using solar power for cooling could be a significant saving method. Especially in the sun-rich regions it is possible to take advantage of solar energy for climatization plant and animal production facilities.

    In this study, it is aimed to explain using solar cooling systems in agricultural applications and solar cooling technologies.

  • HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTROSTATIC FIELD (HVEF) ON THE EFFECTS OF SEED GERMINATION

    Mechanization in agriculture & Conserving of the resources, Vol. 61 (2015), Issue 8, pg(s) 12-13

    Seed is an important organ in order to maintain the sustainability of the plant species and varieties. Ability of seed germination is important and preferred to be tough. And increasing the percentage of germination as well as the effect of environmental conditions in different applications extend the endurance time the effect is concerned. One is a high voltage electrostatic field application. Successful results in terms of the extension of the duration and strength as well as the germination percentage were obtained with this application. It is also an alternative protection against malicious applications using substances of this embodiment may be also considered. Studies in this context have been found to be mostly positive results. What this study, the next step is to compile the work done on the effects of high voltage electrostatic field germination applications developed recommendations are made.
